In the world of modern crime fiction, Stuart Neville is a supernova. I buy his books the day they’re released because I can’t wait to see where he takes me next. And I’m never disappointed
Dennis Lehane
Deeply chilling, but full of tenderness…utterly compelling… The best book yet from a hugely talented writer
Sunday Mirror
Those We Left Behind is a great, brawling ache of a novel. Filled with both prickling suspense and fiercely wrought emotion, it’s a tale of the burdens of family and the weight of the past. And at its center, holding it all together, is DCI Serena Flanagan, the bruised and compassionate hero for whom we’ve all been waiting
Megan Abbott
A frighteningly real story powered by its psychological insight. DCI Serena Flanagan is a compelling blend of toughness and warmth
Isabelle Grey, author of The Bad Mother
Those We Left Behind combines a compelling, tragic and all too believable plot with a wonderfully drawn central character. Neville gets the female voice just right and has created a fascinating series character in DCI Serena Flanagan. Highly recommended
Sinead Crowley, author of Can Anybody Help Me?
Strong characters and a compelling plot make this a must read
Irish Times
The author is a craftsman who has woven a story with strong believable characters into this backdrop and delivered a powerful, poignant book which has expanded my reading range and I thank him for this
Charlotte Courthold, Mature Times
If crime connoisseurs take only one book to the beach this summer they should make sure it is Those We Left Behind
Myles McWeeney, Irish Independent
Superb
Marcel Berlins, The Times
A gripping tale
Roddy Brooks, 4 stars, UK Press Syndication
It’s a novel that leaves an impression and one that we would highly recommend… Those We Left Behind is dark and at times quite brutal but it is a book that you won’t be able to put down
Rebecca McKnight, Her
Disturbing Belfast-set thriller
Natasha Harding, Sun
Once again, Neville ratches up the tension to an almost unbearable level, while managing to draw his characters with compassion and humanity
Myles McWeeney, Belfast Telegraph Morning
Fascinating and disturbing read
Anne Sexton, Hot Press
Death stalks the pages of Those We Left Behind, and its shadow is dark and menacing. Neville is a compassionate and skilled writer, however, and as we reach the last page of the book, a tiny flickering flame of redemption burns in the night

Just read this book. And whilst it keeps you in fear and suspense – appreciate how beautifully it is written
eurocrime.co.uk
Don’t be left behind – read this book, enjoy and prepare for more books involving the flawed, chaotic, saddened and very interesting Serena Flanagan
shotsmag.co.uk
A searing, deeply affecting psychological thriller. Neville demonstrates once again that he’s a literary force to be reckoned with
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Neville's track record is proven, with testimonials from the likes of Lee Child and Val McDermid. Those We Left Behind speaks of the heart-rending choices facing Flanagan and the Devines, and their tortured journeys as they seek a purpose to their lives, battling to keep their heads above water. To find out who sinks or swims, seek out a copy of this gripping tale
Herald
Searing and affecting psychological thriller… A terrific thriller, chilling but oddly tender.
Charlotte Heathcote, Daily Express
